> TikTok’s LA staff are being asked to use their personal/sick days if they cannot work from home due to power or Wi-Fi outages, or if they’re under evacuation orders (unless their entire team has been given time off, which is not the case for many impacted by the fires).
> Employees who can work from home still must go into their “My RTO” portal, where they manage their sick time, and change their work-from-home status to “natural disaster” to not be penalized.
You're talking about the second paragraph here. This article's headline is talking about the first one.
- tbrownaw 2y agoThe "being asked to use their personal/sick days" is the reporter's interpretation of having to go to the "My RTO" portal to set their status.
- mitthrowaway2 2y agoAre you sure? It seems like staying home due to the wildfire uses up sick days if you cannot WFH, but if you can WFH then it does not use up sick days.
- hexhu 2y agoThey're essentially the same from what I heard. No one's expected to work and ppl can avoid using sick days by setting their status in that portal in advance
- d1sxeyes 2y agoThere are two points made, but the article makes it easy to conflate them. 1. If you are able to work from home, set the proper code to avoid losing PSSL days 2. If you aren’t able to work, you need to use a PSSL day. What’s not fully clear to me is whether the expectation is normally that you work on a PSSL day, as it seems to be the case that you get paid on those days whether you work or not.
